All the awesome permutations I was envisioning just twenty minutes ago are quickly evaporating.

I think this means Smart for Boston. And I also think that's the absolute best pick they can make. Hope Ainge gets it right.
I'll become a Bucks fan if Ainge picks Smart here.

Feels like a worst-case scenario for Celts if Exum goes 5 now.  Hopefully they feel otherwise!
 
I kind of like Vonleh, but have seen a lot of negative assessments the last few days.   Smart would be an interesting pick; certainly suggests Rondo leaving sooner rather than later (though there's no guarantees)

I would have to think it's Smart for the Celtics, unless they pull off a trade.

Winning one of those April games looks like it will really hurt the Celtics in the end.
 
Sigh.
 
Wonder if they can trade back....but hard to see who'd be trading up for this one.

Probably shouldn't have beat the Heat twice.

I was even ok with winning games during the year---but when they won a couple in April I really did regret them.  Even more now.

Ha Chad Ford is wrong!!!

    Interesting … the Sixers won’t have EITHER of their picks playing for them this year. Tanking coming again in 2015?

    The Philadelphia 76ers take Dario Saric with the No. 10 pick in the draft

Payton is the first pick with which I disagree. He's good, but there were better options. And is MCW on the move?

I'm pleased too because I wanted the Embiid/Saric wait a year draft.  At least one half of that (the healthy half) is still in play.

McDermott to Chicago for 16 & 19
 
Saric was picked for Philly and Orlando gets Payton.  So Ford and Woj were right...damnit :)
